The Genie in a Bottle experiment is an exothermic reaction. This means it releases heat. The soda bottle will get hot and shrink slightly. Oxygen is stored in liquid form in Hydrogen Peroxide. When we add the Manganese Dioxide (catalyst) it decomposes the Hydrogen Peroxide and oxygen is formed. The oxygen is rapidly released and steam vapor comes spewing out the top.Thursday, July 29, 2010
